The  other  letters  as  in  English 
Double  consonants  must  be  pronounced  double; 
long  vowels  must  be  pronounced  long  5,  e,  o,  u;  and 
short  vowels  (i,  M)are  hardly  pronounced  at  all.  In 
the  very  common  case  of  verbal  terminations  in  suf 
the  u  is  practically  silent:  e.  g.  desu  is  pronounced 
des8. 

Japanese  words  are  pronounced  with  an  equal 
stress  on  each  syllable  except:  1)  the  syllable 
preceding  a  double  consonant  which  has  a  longer 
sound;  2)  the  syllable  containing  a  long  vowel; 
3)  a  short  vowel  makes  the  syllable  short  and  as  a 
consequence  often  throws  an  accent  on  a  neighbour- 
ing syllable.

PREFACE 


The  compiler  is  indebted  for  the  idea  of  this  book 
to  that  very  practical  series  of  little  dictionaries 
called  Nutf  s  Conversatioii  Dictionaries.  Tho  ex- 
ecution of  tho  work  would  have  proved  an  inipossi- 
bility  but  for  the  excellent  English- Japanese 
Dictionary  of  the  Spoken  Language  by  Hobart- 
Hai'.ipden  and  Parlett,  mIucIi  has  been  consulted 
continually.  Frequent  use  has  also  been  made  of 
Imijrie's  Etymology. 

This  book  is  intended  for  the  use  of  tourists 
and  now  residents  who  wish  to  speak  a  little 
Japaneio.  The  compiler  has  endeavoui-ed  to  mako 
the  book  as  practical  and  simple  as  possible,  at 
the  sacrifice  sometimes  of  other  good  qualities:  he 
will  l^a  more  pleased  to  receive  the  thanks  of  the 
beginner  than  the  praise  of  the   learned. 

It  will  bo  found  that  the  Japanese  in  this  Dic- 
tionary is,  on  the  whole,  the  ordinary,  every -day, 
homo-like,  middle-class,  colloquial  language  that 
one  generally  hears:  the  very  rude  and  the  extra- 
polite  ways  of  speaking  have  purposely  been 
avoided.

GRAMMATICAL  INTRODUCTION. 


WRITING. 

The  Japanese  characters  are  of  three  kinds: 

o)  The  Kan-ji,  a  collection  of  several  thousand 
signs  or  ideographs  of  Chinese  origin,  in  which  each 
sign  corresponds  not  to  a  sound  but  to  an  idea.  Three 
or  four  thousand  of  these  characters  are  known  to 
people  of  moderate  education,  and  this  niimber  is 
enough  to  read  the  newspapers  and  write  about 
everyday  matters. 

0)  The  Hira-Gana,  a  collection  of  50  cursive  signs 
in  which  each    sign  corresponds  to  the  sound  of  • 

syllaljlc. 

c)  The  Kaia-Kana,  a  collection  of  50  angular 
signs  in  which  each  sign  corresponds  to  the  sound 
of  a  syllable. 

In  the  following  table  the  first  sign  is  Hira-Oana 
and  the  second  Kala-Kana.

All  Japanese  writing  begins  at  the  top  right-hand 
corner  and  is  written  in  columns  downwards.  Odd 
words  and  short  sentences  are  sometimes  written 
in  horizontal  lines:  they  are  usually,  though  not 
always,  to  be  read  from  right  to  left.  It  is  impor- 
tant to  notice  the  little  accents^^  (or  °)  wliich 
modify  certain  sounds;  these  modified  sounds  are 
called  nigori  These  accents  show  us  that  in  Japa- 
nese ga,  for  instance,  is  only  a  modified  pronuncia- 
tion of  ka  and  not  a  totally  different  sound.  This 
may  very  frequently  be  observed  when  words  enter 
into  composition;  thus,  from  akai  (red)  and  kane 
(metal)  we  have  akagane  (copper). 

The  following  syllables  are  written  by  means  of 
two  kana  symbols.

The  double  letters  in  Japanese  are  :  kk,  mm,  nn, 
pp,  as,  tt,  ssh  (—  shsh),  tch  (=  chch),  tts  (=  teU). 

Except  ?nm  and  nn,  they  are  generally  written  ia 
kana  by  replacing  the  first  component  by  tsu  (o  or 
)!> ),  thus  : 

rippa  is  ^Titten  ri-tsu-pa    ^i  ^  ^ 
dolchi  is  wTitten  do-tsu-chi   Y  ^  ^ 

Double  m  or  n  would,  of  course,  be  written  thus: 
mi-n-na  i  y  -)- 

The  correct  wn.y  to  write  long  vowels  is  not  easy 
to  explain  ;  they  m^^.y,  however,  be  written  by  the 
novice  by  simply  repeating  the  vowel :  thus  : 
Tokyo    Y  ir  ii-3  ir 

Without  pretending  to  go  into  details  as  to  the 
Kan-ji,  some  of  the  simpler  numbers  are  given* 
as  they  can  frequently  be  recognised  in  the  prices  of 
things  or  the  hours  of  trains.

When  the  characters  are  written  with  a  brush, 
sometimes  the  form  is  the  same  as  the  printed 
characters,  sometimes  another  form  is  employed  ; 
just  as  in  English  the  written  letters  are  different 
to  the  printed  ones.

CONJUGATION. 
The  following  is  not  an  attempt  at  giving  a  com- 
plete or  scientific  conjugation  of  t^e  Japanese  verb; 
this  is  long  and  complicated.  We  have  only  endea- 
voured to  show  the  easiest  way  of  forming  those 
parts  of  the  verb  in  most  common  use.  This  book  is 
only  intended  for  begianers;  and  we  believe  that  the 
novice  will  derive  more  benefit  from  learning  a  short 
abstract  of  the  verb  such  as  given  here,  than  by  trying 
to  remember  all  the  forms  of  the  full  conjugation.

With  regard  to  Table  I,  the  column  1  gives  the 
terminatioii  of  the  verbs  as  found  in  the  Dictionary, 
As  the  bases  of  all  verbs  ending  in  e.ru  and  iru  are 
not  formed  in  the  same  way,  some  have  been  dis- 
tinguished  by  a  decimal  point  (cru;  i-ru):  be  care- 
ful to  note  whsther  the  verb  has  or  has  not  tloia 
point. 

Table  IT  shows  what  terminations  are  to  be 
added  and  to  which  base  they  niust  bi  added. 

In  order  to  conjugate  any  verb,  first  f&rm  the 
bases  as  per  Table  I  and  then  add  to  the  proper 
base  the  termination  shown  in  Table  II.  Take  the 
verb  yohu,  for  instance.  According  to  the  second 
line  of  Table  I  we  shall  have  as  bases  1  yohu,  2  yobi, 
3  yond,  4  yoha,  5  yob,  6  yobd. 

'Many  tenses  have  in  Japanese  a  simple  form  as 
yohu  corresponding  to  the  passing  act  and  a  com* 
pound  foiTn  (composed  of  the  gerund  and  the  au- 
xiliary verb  i'ru  or  oru)  as  yonde  iru  which  corres- 
ponds to  the  contmued  act.  Thus  yobu  means  I 
call,  yonde  iru  I  am  calling. 

Yohu  and  yonde  iru  have  the  same  meanings 
respectively  as  yohimasu.  and  yonda  inuisv.  but  the 
latter  arc  more  polite.  In  each  case  in  which  a 
distinction  is  to  be  made,  the  polite  forms  will  be 
found  at  the  end  of  the  tense. 

In  the  imperative,  the  forms  in  kudasai  are  the 
only  really  polite  ones.  The  othera  savour  more  or 
less  of  a  command  and  should  be  used  only. to 
inferiors. 

The  meaning  of  the  Japanese  affirmative 
future  tense  is  not  so  much  futurity  as  uncertainty. 


(   15  ) 

Besides  the  forms  given  of  the  probable  past 
tense  we  may  also  obtain  others  by  adding  daro  or 
desho  to  any  form  of  the  past  tense. 

The  gerund  is  often  used  for  continuing  sentences 
without  the  use  of  a  conjunction.  For  instance  : 
I  bought  a  book  hon  wo  kalmashiia;  I  bought  a 
book  and  returned  home  hon  wo  katte  uchi  ni 
kacrimash'ita. 

The  conditional  serves  not  only  to  express  a  con- 
dition, but  is  often  used  to  indicate  other  relations 
especially  that  of  time.  _  The  present  or  past  of 
the  verb  followed  by  n'ara,  the  1st  form  of  the 
present  followed  by  to^  and  the  gerund  followed  by 
■U'a,  are  often  about  equivalent  to  a  conditional. 

The  desidorative  form  of  the  verb  is  equiva- 
lent to  a  true  adjective  and  has  the  inflexions  of  one. 
For  instance:  I  wish  to  call,  yobitai;  if  you 
•wish  to  call,  yobitakereba;  I  do  not  wish  to  call, 
yobitaku  nai ;  etc.     See  pp.  10,  20. 

It  is  well  to  remark  that  the  second  base  of  a 
verb  is  frequently  used  by  itself,  and  in  this  case 
it  is  generally  equivalent  to  a  noun.  It  is  called 
the  stem  and  is  met  with  frequently  as  the  first 
component  of  a  compound. 

VOICES  OF  VERBS. 


The  Passive  is  formed  by  adding  re'r\i  to  the 
4th  base.  In  verbs  ending  in  e-ru  or  i'ru,  add  rareru 
to  the  same  4th  base.  E.g.:  korosu  to  kill,  koro- 
aare-ru  to  bo  killed;  tahe-ru  to  eat,  taberare-ru  to 
be  eaten. 

The  subject  of  the  Japanese  passive  is  the  person 
affected  by  the  action  of  the  verb  ;  1  herefore  not 
necessarily    the    direct    object.      The    use    of    the 


(  16) 

Japanese  passive  is  very  different  from  the  English 
passive. 

The  Causative  voice  is  obtained  by  adding  se-ru 
to  tlie  4th  base.  In  verbs  ending  in  e-ru  or  i-ru, 
sasp'ru  is  added  to  the  same  4th  base.  E.g.*  kau 
to  buy,  hawase'ru  to  have  bought  (by  somebody); 
koshirae-ru  to  make,  koshiraesase'ru  to  have  made; 
I  shall  liave  a  tal)le  made  lebdm  wo  koshiraesase- 
mavho.  The  causative  may  have  two  meanings  : 
(a)  to  cause  to  do  ;  and  (b)  to  allow  something  to 
be  done. 

Tl'.e  Potential: — The  Passive  does  service  as 
a  Potential  also.  Besides  this,  most  verbs  (not 
those  ending  in  e-ru  or  i-ru)  have  another  form  of 
potential  obtained  by  adding  e-ru  to  the  5th  base. 

Passive,  Potential  and  Causative  verbs  all  end 
in  e-ru  ;  they  may  be  conjugated  regularly. 

TRANSITIVE   AND  INTRANSITIVE 
VERBS. 

In  English  it  often  happens  that  the  same  verb 
is  both  transitive  and  intransitive:  in  Japanese  such 
verbs  have  usually  only  the  stem  rn  common.  E.g. 
kowasu  (trans.),  koware'ru  (intr.)  to  break.  I  broke 
the  plate  sara  wo  kowashimashUa;  the  plate  broke 
sara  ga  kowaremashita. 

COMPOUND  VERBS. 

Besides  the  compound  forms  of  the  simple  ten- 
ses, of  which  we  spoke  above,  the  Japanese  have 
a  very  large  number  of  compound  verbs:  e.g.  from 
noru  to  get  on  to,  and  kae'ru  to  change,  we  obtain 
nori-kacru,  to  change  trains,  carriages,  etc.  The 
first  component  is  the  2nd  base  of  the  verb.

AD J  ECTXVE. 

Adjectives  in  Japanese,  as  in  English,  have  no 
gender,  number,  nor  case. 

There  are  three  principal  classes  of  adjectives: 
true  adjectives,  adjectives  in  na  and  no,  presents 
and  pasts  of  verbs. 

The  adjective  may  be  used  in  four  ways: 

1)  as  an  attribute,  in  which  case  it  is  placed 
before  the  noun:  e.g.  high  house  takai  uchi;  kind 
man  sh  insets  il  na  hito. 

2)  as  a  predicate  in  ordinary  sentences:  e.g.  this 
house  is  high  kono  vxhi  tea  takai  :  that  man  is  kind 
ano  hito  ua  shinselsu  de  ariynasu  [desu].  The  verb 
'to  be'  need  not  be  translated  when  followed  by  a 
true  adjective. 

3)  as  a  predicate  in  polite  sentences  with  the  verb 
gozaimasu:  e.g.  that  tree  is  high  ano  ki  wa  iako 
gozaimasu  ;  that  man  is  kind  ano  hito  wa  shinsetsU 
de  gozaimaaH. 

4)  as  an  adverb:  e.g.  that  tree  has  becorne  high 
ano  ki  wa  takaku  narimashlta;  that  man  behaved 
kindly  ano  hito  wa  shinsetsix  ni  ahita. 

True  adjectives  end  in  at",  ii,  oi,  ui,  their  termi- 
nations according  to  the  way  in  which  they  are  used 
are  shown  in  the  following  tables.

(  20  ) 

What  remains  after  suppressing  the  final  »  of  a 
true  adjective  is  called  the  stom;  it  is  ofto:i  used  as 
the  first  component  of  a  compound. 

True  adjectives  have  a  kind  of  conjugation  whicii 
is  obtained  from  the  adverbial  forms; 

adverb  takakv 

past  taLa/:\Tri.  was  high 

future  takai.AiKb  will  be  high 

gerund  takahi  th  being  high 

cond.  present  takatKHEnx  if  is  high 

cond.past         takak\TTAiiA  if  wlis  high 

probable  past  takaksTTARb  i^robably  was  high 

The  negative  forms  of  the  true  adjective  are 
obtained  from  the  adverbial;  they  are  illustrated 
in  the  following  example: 

yoku  well 

yoku  nai  not  good 

yoku  nalcu  not  well 

yoku  nakatta  was  not  good 

yoku  nakaro  will  not  bo  good 

yoku  nakide  not  being  good 

yoku  nakereba  if  is  not  good 

yoku  nakatlara  if  was  not  good 

yoku  nakcUlaro  probably  was  not  good 

No  desu  (sometimes  abbreviated  to  n'  desu  or 
to  desu)  is  often  added  to  true  adjectives  used  as 
predicates  :  e.g.  this  house  is  high  kono  uchi  wa 
takai  (no)  desu.  No  desii  is  likewise  often  added 
to  the  final  verb  of  a  sentence. 

Adjectives  in  na  (or  no)  change  na  (or  no)  into  de 
when  used  as  predicates,  or  gerunds,  and  into  n» 
when  vised  as  adverbs. 


(  21  ) 

The  presents  and  pasts  of  verbs  are  frequently 
used  as  attributes;  but  as  predicates  in  ordinary 
sentences  they  again  become  true  verbs.  Their  use 
will  bo  understood  by  this  example:  a  fat  woman 
fulotta  onna;  that  woman  is  fat  ano  onna  wa  futotte 
imasu. 

COMPARISOX  OF  ADJECTIVES. 

The  comparison  of  adjectives  is  geneitilly  not  ex- 
pressed but  implied  in  Japanese:  which  is  the  cheap- 
er? dotchi  ga  ydsiii?  dotchi  no  ho  ga  yasui?  which  is 
the  cheapest?  dore  ga  yasui?  These  sentences  all 
mean:  which  is  cheap? 

This  is  the  clieapest  (of  two  or  more)  kore  ga  ya- 
sui; (of  two)  kono  lid  ga  yasui. 

The  use  of  the  word  'than'  is  shown  in  the  Dic- 
tionary. 

The  superlative  may  be  translated  by  ichiban: 
this  is  the  best  kore  ga  ichiban  ii. 


PRONOUN. 

The  personal  and  possessive  pronouns  are 
seldom  used  in  Japanese;  the  context  and  use  of 
humble  words  or  honorifics  are  usually  enough  to 
show  which  person  is  being  spoken  about.  As  the 
sentences  translated  in  this  Dictionary  have  no 
context,  a  much  freer  use  of  the  personal  pronoun 
has  been  made  than  is  usual  in  ordinary  speaking. 

There  are  no  relative  pronouns  in  Japanese:  ex- 
amples of  how  sentences  containing  relative  pro- 
nouns can  be  translated,  may  be  found  under  the 
words  That,  Who,  Whom,  Which. 


(  22  ) 

ARTICLE 

There  are  no  articles  in  Japanese. 
NOUN 

Abstract  nouns  are  formed  by  adding:  o)  koto  to 
an  adjective  or  to  the  present  or  past  of  the  verb; 
Jiayai  rapid,  hayai  koto  rapidity;  ki  ivo  tsukeru  to  be 
careful,  kl  wo  tsukeru  kulo  attention;  6)  sa  or  mi  to 
an  adjective  stem;  takai  high,  takasa  height;  amai 
sweet,  atnami  sweetness;  r>  kc  to  a  noun:  shio  salt, 
ahiokr.  saltncss. 

Concrete  nouns  are  sometimes  formed  by  adding 
mono  to  nouns,  or  to  the  stems  of  adjectives  or 
verbs:  e.g.  inaka  the  country,  inaka-iitono  a  rustic; 
aoi  green,  aomono  vegetables;  kau  to  buy,  kaimono 
purcha.se. 

The  names  of  Trades,  Artisans,  Shops  and  Shop- 
keepers are  formed  by  adding  ya  to  the  name  of  the 
article  dealt  in:  e.g.  sakana  fish,  sakana-ya  fishmon- 
ger (the  man  or  the  shop). 

The  sex  of  the  animal  is  seldom  referred  to;  when 
it  is  necessary  to  do  so,  it  can  be  done  by  prefixing 
oloko  no  or  o  for  the  males,  and  onna  no  or  me  for 
the  females  :  e.g.  ushi  any  bovine  animal,  oloko  no 
uslii  or  o-usfii  a  bull,  on>}a  no  nslii  or  me-ushi  a  cow. 

The  plural  number  may  be  expressed  by  adding 
domo,  lachi,  or  gata  (which  is  more  polite).  These 
suffixes,  however,  are  rarely  neccssarj'  and  seldom 
used.

The  third  set  is  used  in  counting  over  things,  e.g. 

linen  to  be  sent  to  the  wash;  one.  two,  three 

hii,  fu,  viii In  otiicr  cases  the  sot  to  be  used 

depends  on  the  noun  to  which  tlio  numeral  refers: 

a)  a  few  nouns,  (units  of  time,  money,  weight  or 
moasiiro),  tako  the  first  sot  witliout  any  auxihary 
numeral  ;  in  this  case  the  numeral  precedes  the 
noun:  e.g.  two  yen  ni-ycn;  fifty  son  go-jis-scn;  three 
o'clock  san-ji;  six  hours  rokti-jlkan. 

h)  most  nouns  take  the  first  sot  with  an  auxili- 
ary numeral;  in  this  case  the  order  is:  noun, 
n'.imeral.  auxiliary  numeral:  e.g.  six  men  hito  roku- 
nin;  eiijht  plates  sara  hachi-mai;  three  books  hon 
ean-satsu. 

c)  a  good  many  nouns  take  the  second  set;  the 
numeral  is  placed  after  the  noun:  e.g.  two  eggs  ta- 
mago  juiatsu;  three  chairs  isu  mittsu;  four  boxes  ha- 
k9  yottsu 

d)  a  few  nouns  tako  the  second  set  after  suppres- 
sing^ the  final  tsir.  the  numeral  comes  before  the 
noim:  e.g.  two  nights  ftita-ban;  three  boxfuls  mi- 
hako;  eight   months  ya-tsuki. 

House  numbers  are  expressed  by  the  first  set  of 
numerals  followed  by  ban  if  they  refer  to  the  Euro- 
pean part  of  tlie  town,  or  banchi  if  they  refer  to  the 
Japanese  part.

When  yoii  don't  know  wlDch  is  the  proper  auxi- 
iiary  number  to  use  you  had  better  ennploy  the 
second  set  of  numerals.  It  may  not  be  correct 
Japanese,  but  you  will  be  understood;  whereas  if 
you  use  an  incorrect  auxiliary  numeral  you  may 
not  be  understood  at  ?.ll.  For  instance,  if  instead 
of  sara  ni-mai  [two  plates]  you  say  snra  jutatsn,  it 
is  not  right  but  it  is  intelligible,  sara  ni-hon  is 
unintelligible. 

ORDINAL  NUMBERS. 


The  ordinal  numbers  are  formed  from  the  car- 
dinal. 

In  cases  a)  and  d)  (page  23)  you  add  me  to  the 
noun:  e.g.  the  tiiird  ho\iT  aan-jikan-mc;  the  second 
night  futaban-7ne. 

In  the  case  of  nouns  belonging  to  class  b)  you  fidd 
me  no  to  the  auxiliary  numeral.  The  order  of  the 
words  is:  numeral,  auxihary  numeral,  me  no,  noun; 
the  auxiliary  numeral  can  always  be  replaced  by 
ham.  E.g.  the  sixth  man  roku-nin-me  nohito,  roku- 
bam-m,e  no  hito;  the  third  book  san-aatsu-me  no  hon, 
ean-bam-me  no  hon. 

In  the  case  of  c)  add  me  no  to  the  numeral  and 
put  the  noun  at  the  end:  e.g.  the  third  chair  "mittsu- 
me  no  iau.

HONORIFICS.     POLITE  WORDS. 


Honorifics  are  in  constant  use  in  Japanese.  They 
largely  take  the  place  of  personal  and  possessive 
pronouns  of  the  second  person:  thus  o  tomodachi 
the  honorable  friend,  means,  your  friend. 

The  honorific  particles  are  o  and  go;  they  are 
very  frequently  placed  before  nouns,  and  some- 
times before  adjectives. 

In  verbs  it  sometimes  happens  that  there  is  a 
special  verb  for  the  action  of  the  second  person,  if 
this  second  person  is  being  treated  with  respect :  I 
saw  mimashUa;  you  saw  goran  nataimasMta 
[deigned  to  glance].  When  no  special  word  exists, 
the  verb  may  sometimes  be  rendered  more 
respectful  thus:  1)  the  honorific  o;  2)  the  second 
base  of  the  verb  ;  3)  naaaru,  ni  nam,  or  d«  goxaru- 


(  28  ) 

Besides  this  use  of  honorifics  in  verbs,  which  con- 
sists in  distinguishing  my  act  which  is  ordinary 
from  your  act,  which  is  honorable,  there  are  some 
polite  forms  of  verbs  and  some  special  verba 
which  are  to  be  used  when  speaking  to  a  superior, 
irrespective  of  the  person  who  performs  the 
action  of  the  verb.  The  commonest  example  of 
this  arp  the  forms  of  the  verb  ending  in  tnasa,  etc: 
aruku  [I  walk,  you  walk,  he  walks]  does  when 
speaking  to  an  inferior  or  a  chum;  but  ariikiiyiasu. 
should  be  use  when  speaking  to  anybody  to  whom 
we  owe  respect.  Likewise  desu,  dc.-^liita  and  d^sho 
are  more  polite  than  da,  datta  and  daru.  By  fre- 
quently replacing  the  verb  aru  by  gozaru,  we  can 
make  our  conversation  still  more  markedly  polite. 

Women  as  a  rule,  use  honorifics  and  polite  words 
much  more  freely  than  men 

It  is  not  possible  to  put  every  sentence  in  this 
Dictionary  in  both  the  familiar  and  polite  forms. 
The  reader  must  mrxke  the  changes  which  the 
circumstances  may  demand. 

It  has  become  the  custom  always  to  use  an 
honorific  prefix  before  certain  words,  as :  o  yu  hot 
■water;  o  cha  tea;  and  in  these  cases  the  honorific 
means  next  to  nothing.  Indeed,  in  some  instances, 
the  honorific  has  become  incorporated  m  the  word 
and  has  etitirely  lost  its  meaning,  as:  onaka  [honor- 
able inside]  the  abdomen. 

Be  careful  not  to  mix  up  in  one  sentence  polite 
and  impolite  expressions.  Go  hon  wo  kasJilte  o  kure 
lend  me  your  book,  would  be  wrong,  because  go  hon 
is  pohte  and  kashile  o  kure  is  a  non-polite  form  of 
the  imperative.

POSTPOSITION. 

A  certain  class  of  Japanese  words  are  called  post- 
positions because  they  are  always  placed  after  the 
word  or  clause  to  which  they  belong.  They  corres- 
pond generally  to  English  prepositions  or  conjunc- 
tions. 

Wa  or  ga  are  used  after  the  subject  of  a  sentence; 
wo  after  the  accusative  case  and  ni  after  the 
dative.  Wa  is  also  used  after  a  word  or  phrase, 
placed  at  the  beginning  of  a  sentence,  to  which  it  is 
desired  to  draw  special  attention. 

It  is  very  diflficult  to  give  a  rule  for  the  use  of  wa 
or  ga  after  the  subject  of  a  sentence. 

INTERROGATIONS. 

Questions  are  expressed  by  putting  ka  after  the 
verb.  When  there  is  already  an  interrogative 
word  in  the  sentence,  the  final  ka  is  not  always 
necessary.  Ikaga  desu?  or  ikaga  deau  ka?  are  both 
correct. 

The  Japanese  'yes'  or  'no'  refers  not  to  the 
objective  fact  nor  to  what  you  have  said,  but  to 
what  they  think  is  in  your  mind.  You  may  often 
hear  things  hke  th-«  :  Doko  de  katta  no  desu  ka  ? — 
lie,  jihun  de  koshiracla  no  desu.  Where  did  you 
buy  it  ? — No  I  made  it  myself  ;  i.e.  your  question 
supposes  that  I  bought  it  somewhere,  that  is  not 
so,  I  made  it  mj-self. 

The  result  of  this  custom  is,  that  when  answering 
a  negative  question  they  often,  but  not  always,  say 
'yes'  aayo  de  gozainvasu,  where  we  would  say  'no', 
and  'no'  He,  where  we  say  'yes'.  Supposing  you 
ask  somebody  :  Kyo  ikimasen  ka  ?  'areu't  you  going 


(  30) 

today  ?'  If  he  does  not  intend  to  go  he  will  say  : 
Sayo  de  gozaimasu,  and  his  meaning  will  be  .  'The 
suggestion  implied  in  your  negative  question  is 
correct  ;  I  am  not  going'.  If  on  the  other  hand  he 
does  intend  to  go,  he  will  answer :  lie,  and  he 
means  :  'It  is  not  as  you  suggest ;  I  am  going.' 
However,  if  the  question  is  :  Tetsudatte  kndnsaima- 
sen  f:n  ?  won't  you  kindly  help  me  ?  he  will  think 
you  are  counting  on  hi-s  help,  and  his  answer  may 
be  :  K,  trtsudattc  agcinasu  to  mo.  of  course  1  will  ;  or 
lie.  lets  ltd  a  i.»  as  en  no,  I  won't. 

The  bogiuner  will  lind  at  safer  always  to  answer 
que.stions  by  a  verb  in  the  affirmative  or  negative 
inflexion,  and  not  merely  by  yes  or  no;  and  he  had 
better  always  ask  questions  in  the  affirmative  form. 

ORDER  OF  WORDS. 

In  Japanese  qualifying  words  precede  the  words 
they  qualify;  postpositions,  of  course,  come  after 
tho  word  or  clause  to  which  they  belong.  E.g.  the 
red  book  akni  lion  ;  of  tho  red  book  akai  Hon  no  ; 
the  price  of  the  red  book  akai  hon  no  nedan. 

The  Older  of  a  Japanese  sentence  is  generally 
as  follows:  adverbs  of  time  or  place,  or  any  word  on 
which  enphasis  is  laid;  subject;  clauses;  dative; 
accusative;  adverb;  verb. 

HOMONYMS. 

The  beginner  must  bear  in  mind  that  in  Japan- 
ese homonyms  are  extremely  numerous.  A  large 
number  of  the  words  of  one  or  two  syllables  have 
several  meanings;  not  a  few  of  them  have  as  many 
as  ten  or  more.  Even  among  words  of  three  syl- 
lables homonyms  are  frequently  met  with.

With  regard  to  the  towns

beef,  milk  a»id  tinned 
butter  otdy  in  the  most 
important;  bread  in  those 
of  i«c<lium  size;  but  beer 
and  tinned  milk  are  to  be 
had  even  in  the  smallest 
country  villages.  Fresh  fish 
and  eggs  can  generally  be 
found  everywhere;  and  very 
often   fowls  can  be  bouglit.

Marriage  in  Japan  is  almost 
invariably  arranged  by  the 
parents  and  is  seldom  the 
result  of  mutual  love.  The 
Japanese  language,  therefore 
is  poor  in  expressions  of  af- 
fection and  those  whicli  ex- 
ist are  apt  to  be  taken  in  a 
bad  sense.
